Blake Rickels Group, Realty Executives

Driving Directions

Blake Rickles was referred to us by family that had previously used him and I can't tell you how grateful we were for that referral! Blake is s an awesome realtor that was very informative and helpful on tips of how to best sale the house. Would recommend him to anyone to use as their realtor!

Shelby Brooks was our realtor during our recent home purchase in Knoxville and we are SO happy we got to work with her. She worked so hard on our behalf to get showings booked, communicate with sellers agents and was very helpful explaining the process. Having a good realtor is the most important thing. She truly had our best interests in mind and cares about the buyers needs. If you're looking for a realtor, I highly recommend Shelby! Shelby is the best, and now she's our friend too.

Blake Rickels was very communicative, responding to our many questions and the 2 families he found for 2 lots in our 4 lot ( sold December 2019 and February 2020 ) development in Farragut were obviously pleased with him as well. It was of interest the buyers didn't hire outside realtor representation. Blake gave us sound advice relative to pricing, we liked his ads on line ( a good presence ). He was patient, not high pressured and no question he displayed honesty. When we sell another lot we will list with Blake with certainty.

Blake was recommended by a previous neighbor whose house he had sold a few years ago. It didn't take long for my wife and I to realize why he had come so highly recommended. Blake quickly provided great feedback on preparation for selling our home. He was a great resource for anything that came up during the process and was always available. Blake is a fantastic realtor and an even better person!

Shelby Brooks is knowledgeable, thorough, organized, and patient. She guided me through every step of the process, always with my best interests in mind. This was my first home purchase as a single mom, and knowing that Shelby was advocating for my family made me a confident buyer. She is simply the best!

We've worked with Blake in the past and continue to work with him currently. He's a wealth of information and very resourceful, having helped us buy, sell and even helping with our upcoming build. He is always upbeat and responsive and unaffected by our crazy questions and requests. I rarely recommend anyone for anything but, without hesitation, recommend Blake Rickels for any and all of your real estate needs.

BEST.EXPERINCE.EVER. Blake made purchasing our home so effortless, it was unbelievable! Being native to this area, Blake knew just where to look for our particular needs. We were able to walk through listings at the drop of a hat and Blake was always available to answer any questions we had. Thanks to Blake Rickels at Keller Williams we bought the perfect home for our family!

What an amazing team! Blake and Major made it easy to sell my home and purchase our next. You can waste time with someone else or just let Blake close the deal.

Selling house can be a frustrating process; we were very fortunate to have Mr. Blake Rickels help us. After we showed him the house, he found buyers overnight! During the brief time working with him, we found Blake incredibly professional. He guided us through the process with ease and confidence. He was always responsive and reassuring. We are extremely grateful for his help. If you need real estate agent, we highly recommend reaching out to Blake Rickles. Jin&Nan Z.

You can stop looking now, you found him. This is the guy. Maybe you're concerned because your property is complicated, maybe it's a *particular market*, perhaps there are restrictions or it's a unique property. He's got that covered. He knows the people, he has the history, he knows the comps, he knows the market. He's going to be clear, you'll know exactly what you're dealing with, and the job will get done. (You probably should have called him earlier.) Call. Call others too if you want, but go ahead and get things ready, cause this is it. You found him.

Blake is the best! He hung in there for the long haul. After showing us every house in Knoxville, he found us the perfect fit. I would recommend Blake to everyone I know. Amazing experience!

Look no more, you have found the team who is trustworthy, client focused and experienced! I can't thank Blake Rickels and Carly Ponzurick for all their hard work in selling my home in record time. Your excellent service, frequent communication, professionalism and dependability, made the sale process so much easier for me. They made me feel like I was their only client.

They are highly personable and I never felt neglected or unimportant. Blake was honest about some minor changes that I needed to make in the house to attract buyers quickly, and his advice worked like a charm. It is so rare in this day to find people with impeccable work ethic and honesty, someone who possesses a sincere desire to strive and deliver a sold home!

Without the help of Blake Rickels and his associate Carly Ponzurick, I would never have sold my condo in time to buy the perfect house in the country. Not only did his talent, generosity, and expertise make all of this possible, he also was able to sell two other houses for me in record time. What makes this more impressive is that, he made recommendations for getting all the houses ready for sale, helped us locate the best contractors for the fixes, and expedited the improvements so that, when the houses sold, nothing additional needed to be done to get them sold. What a team! Responsive, in touch, and awesome!

Blake Rickels helped me find my home! He was very reliable and friendly throughout the whole process and I would recommend using Blake to anyone! He even made sure my washer and dryer were delivered to my house post-closing! That's dedication!

Blake has helped us sell two homes and buy another. He is very nice to work with, very professional, and communicates/responds very well! He knows the market and is honest about the price and condition of your home, but he allows you to decide what works best for you (where you price and what updates/repairs/staging you want to do). Another thing that sets him apart is his marketing ability. First, the quality of the photos of your home is amazing.

It truly markets the home in a very positive light. He is very active in using social media and other web-based marketing. He also uses technology to make showings/listings very convenient to be aware of and confirm. Technology for paperwork is also something convenient he offers. He provides solid advice but doesn't over-advise. He is a consultant, not the decision maker. We found him to be incredibly easy to work with, and most importantly, he succeeds in what you hire him to do. We would recommend Blake to anyone!

Blake has a history of selling homes when others couldn't. We stumbled onto Blake after several failed Realtors during the heart of the housing crisis in 2009. Blake took the time to explain to us the local market, what to expect throughout the entire process, the selling points of our home, competing homes and he didn't just try to get us to lower the selling price.

It is no surprise to my wife and I that Blake has grown his business as a Realtor to what it is today. Blake is trustworthy, fair, honest, personable and has integrity. I would recommend him as THE go-to Realtor in Knoxville if you are looking to buy or sell a property! -Josh and Janet Seyler

Blake helped us find and purchase our first home in the EXACT neighborhood and price range that we were looking for! We highly recommend Blake. He is honest, intelligent and a very hard worker. There were multiple times we had to meet later in the evenings after dark to accommodate our schedule. Blake also put us in touch with a different mortgage company which allowed us to end up negotiating a quarter point lower interest rate on our mortgage. If you are looking for someone who will work hard for you and has integrity, we would recommend calling Blake.

I have known and used Blake Rickels for half of a decade. Stumbling upon his services through social media platforms, my experience with Blake has been nothing less than stellar. His professionalism is empowering, his knowledge is astonishing, and his knack for real estate is mind blowing. Anything you thought you may have known, you can chalk up to luck- because he has strategy, reasoning, and science behind his mechanics.

If you want a house sold, this is the guy to call. If you want pretty pictures of your house on the internet, call someone else. He needs a sign that says "serious inquiries only", because once you've got him as your realtor, you might as well start packing.

Anyone in the process of an executive relocation or new to the Knoxville area should use Blake Rickels as your realtor. We contacted Blake as we were working through our relo from Ft Lauderale to Farragut (West Knoxville) and he made the process extremely easy. His follow up was quick, he actually listened to us and found us the perfect home that met all of our needs, which is not an easy task. We will use him for all future real estate needs and would recommend him to my family and friends. -Taylor Wilson

Blake sold a condo for me in The woodlands of Knoxville off Cherokee Trail behind UT Medical Center and at Eleventh Place next to The Worlds Fair Park. Both experiences were positive and worth mentioning. Blake has exceptional customer service is easy going, up front, and honest. He negotiated both deals very well to get me the best sales price possible. I would highly recommend to anyone considering selling their home in Knoxville to call Blake.
